ETU hits back at Nolan bagging

The Electrical Trades Union has hit back at a former Bligh government minister, who blasted the organisation in a blistering attack on Thursday.

In an opinion piece for Fairfax Media, Rachel Nolan, who served as both the transport minister and finance minister during her 11 years in Parliament under the previous Labor government, said she was defeated in 2012 "in a nasty and bitter campaign led in large part by the ETU".
